You can ask to cancel (withdraw) your NDIS Worker Check application if the application meets certain criteria.

We cannot cancel the application if:

  • we are undertaking, or proposing to undertake, a risk assessment.

Cancel your application

Increased call volumes and application processing delays

We’re experiencing significantly higher than normal call volumes and application enquiries.

This means:

  • phone wait times are longer than usual
  • enquiry response times are longer than usual
  • application processing is taking longer than expected.

We understand your application is important and we appreciate your patience while we respond to enquiries as quickly as we can.

Before contacting us, please look at troubleshooting for screening applications.

Many common problems can be fixed without needing to call or email.
